I wanted to post this note from LT. Fera here for those who might not see the "Cigars For The Troops" sticky. As I said over there, it's your donations that make this happen.

"Hi David,

I just wanted to let you know I received all three boxes you sent and they were fantastic. We just had an Officer/Senior NCO Christmas party (Yeah, it's almost FEB) and I was able to some out to everyone there. I also have a lot left over that I separated and made boxes for the companies. The support you all have given us over the last year has been nothing short of phenomenal and we really really appreciate it over here. I've got so many guys smoking cigars now it's crazy. I'll see about getting some pictures together for you to post on the site for other people to check out.
Things have been going ok over here. We have what we need thanks to all the support from back home. We're getting ready to do one more mission and then it's time to pack up. We've got about 10 weeks left, so if you could spread the word to not send anything after 1 March, that'd be great. I have a good friend who just got to Iraq, and if you are still interested in supporting the troops, I can get his address for you. He'll be there for another 10 months at least, and maybe 13 depending on if they got extended.
Anyways, I should be back here at Kandahar for a little while longer, so feel free to write back if you'd like. Again, pass our regards to the members of Club Stogie please!!
Take care,

Anthony Fera

Happy to see you are taking such good care of Lt. Fera and the troops of the 82nd serving in Afghanistan. Even happier to see he nearing his time exit wise. Way to go.
